party post ✶ now i'm ready for the last hurrah, dying like a shooting star

Who: EVERYONE.
What: A swanky party.
When: Sukkardi, 8 PM to the wee hours of the morning.
Where: Gibeah, Jack's new house in Syriac Well.
Warnings: None! Please place warnings in your subject lines as needed and I will edit them in.

Jack wasn't kidding about inviting half of Syriac Well. He may in fact have invited all of Syriac well but is only expecting half to show up. Still, it's his first chance to impress the people who will, with any luck, someday become his constituents. That goes for Syriac Well and the new cohort. (He doesn't plan to stop at city councilor, after all.) But, one step at a time. He hasn't even announced his candidacy yet; first, he has to meet the neighbors.

And so the house is done up with no expense spared, although care has been taken not to look too over the top. Syriac Well is upper middle class, and that means appreciating the finer things but perhaps not appreciating snobbery. There are servants, but not too many, and guests in fabulous gowns, but no shortage of cocktail-length dresses either. No one is turned away. The lights are hung, the food is served, and music wafts through the building. It's time for a party.

It here that Jaime chooses to land for a time, and listen to the band playing and watch people dance. He has never appreciated, much, the finer things in life - music and dancing are well and good, but he'd attended such things either as a guard or a visiting nobleman who preferred to shark around and bother the people he didn't like. Here, he has no enemies, nor friends that extend far past the host himself, who is predictably busy swanning around.

He also, for this rare occasion, fits in with the decor. Hasibe was not someone he expected to arrive as his residence, but he went along with it and thus wears a formal, nicely fitted suit of sharkish grey, a splash of colour in his tie, the shirt beneath jacket and waistcoat crisply white.

For now, he is content to lean, and nurse a glass of the darkest red he could find.
